I tested and tested without it and its not happening with the gear ratio i run at the time, 13.55. I am going to try a taller GR and see what we can do. I could let something slip maybe, or launch it at part throttle and then pin it but thats no way to get the best ET IMO. The wheelie bar is only 7lbs btw. Ide rather wheelie it and still win if i could have my way

I really appreciate the tips. All and any are welcome ! I tried that. Believe me when i say i didnt want the WB at first at all. For two reasons. 1. the extra weight. 7-8lbs is not much, but when your striving for the best ET it is.
2. i really like to wheelie lol. Not when im racing but most of the rest of the time i am on the back wheel .
I tried planting my bunghole right in the nose of the seat and Skeedr still 12o-clocked me . Thats no fun when your now riding straight up in the air in that position . The only way i could get a WOT launch is with the wheelie bar. My skills are still limited as i have only been doing this for a year, and i cant test much unless i am at the track and it is 2hours from home.
I agree tho, less weight= mo faster scoot

Congrats on having an awesome scoot, and at your triumph at Twist 'n Gone! I wish I could have made it this year... In February, I had money saved up for it. By the time the event rolled around I didn't.

Your bike is pretty badass, and I'm glad you choose to share it with us. Great job!

Its a hoot to run and you dont even need a fast scoot to be on top. We run in between rounds with cars, trucks, Jr. dragsters, even go-karts. You name it!
As a spectator you really get your moneys worth IMO

I owe it ALL to 190mech. He built the important stuff and i just bolted my CVT and such on.
He did some homework and ended up buying a bunch of old used jugs and such off ebay. They are out there CHEAP folks. Ended up most all aluminum steal sleeved cylinders. All L/C. A CR125 top-end he got would have worked great but there were piston/port issues. We really would have liked a better piston with the pin located higher and closer to the crown. And a longer rod would have been nice. He used a BWS 52.5mm stroke crank and a BWS 55mm piston. All welded and bolted to a shaved mina china case with an aluminum adapter plate.
Like 190 said, we are limited by the small fourbolt pattern on our scooter engines. In comparison the dirtbike jugs have much more trans, intake, and exhaust area. There is really no comparison to even the best scooter cylinders. You just dont have the room unless you make it. These trans tunnels are HUGE!

Im sure 190mech will chime in with more detail when he has time.
I am very greatfull to say the least to be able to run the snot out of such a project!
